CHEM 231: Organic Chemistry I Textbook
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
This text is designed as the first semester of a one-year organic chemistry sequence. Topics include the chemistry of hydrocarbons with emphasis on structure and reactivity of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, and conjugated systems. Mechanisms, stereochemistry and spectroscopy are an integral part of the course. Basic synthesis, separation, purification and spectroscopic techniques are introduced in the laboratory.
